Be healed and Shout
Posted: June 6th, 2008, 5:28 pm
Many years ago, I conducted a Revival meeting in small mountain church. In this Revival over 60 people testified to being born again. There were over 50 who testified to being baptized with the Holy Ghost.
There was a family in the church. If I recall correctly there were seven sons, some married and some not. Before the revival one son and the father attended the church. A couple of the sons had gottened saved during the meetings, before the event I will describe. After this event the other sons got saved also.
The father and the sons worked together in a brick and block laying business. The father had an accident. A boom was lifting a bundle of blocks off the back of a truck. Something malfunctioned and the blocks shifted, and tumbled, falling on the father's leg. The boy's were about to get there father to the emergency room. He insisted the boys get him to the church. We were already there having a prayer meeting for the revivival that night.
I was an eywitness to the miracle. The father's leg was broken. The bone was protruding through the skin. His pants leg had been ripped and then completely torn away below the knee by his sons. The break was below the knee. He had them bring him to be healed. We prayed.
My friend Larry Kelley, who was the son of one of the Kelley Bros., of old COGOP music notoriety, was helping me in the revival meeting. Larry was not a preacher, but he and I were great friends and brothers. He died at thirty years of age. Heaven will be sweet to see him.
Well, excuse that side track. Like I say we were praying, and all of a sudden I heard Larry say, "Be healed and Shout"! I do not know if Larry's words were the catylist to the man's faith. I just know what I heard and what I saw.
The father jumped to his feet and began to leap. He began to spin. He began to run. I saw the man dance. The only way I can describe it was like an Indian war dance. Part of it resembled an Irish jig. He Praised God with a loud voice. He ran around the church building several times. When he stopped we examined the leg, and no bone could be seen. There was not a scar. There was dried blood on the leg and on the cloth. He remained for the church service torn pant leg and all.
Scripture tells us of a lame man healed who went leaping and jumping. I think what ever that man had get a hold of him must have gotten a hold of that father that night. His other sons and there wives also were saved. People came from as much as 150 miles a way to be in this revival.
This was in America.
I have no problem in seeing someone be healed and shout.
